Auto ja tekniikka aiheinen kanava, kaikenlaista moottoriajoneuvojen kanssa hölmöilyä ja puuhailua. Erityisesti italialaisia laitteita esiintyy kanavalla, tai se on ainakin tarkoitus. Myös peltoauto juttuja.
questi siiiiiiii che sono veramente motori con la m maiuscola!? Altro che questi"turbo-elettrici che quando metti in moto non si sente nemmeno il"battito cardiaco del turbocompressore si sente solo zzzzzzzzzzzz che a me mi sembra una zanzara oppure una mosca!?😢😮😅😊
do you have any tips on buying old used cars from the 80s/90s? idk if you know any tricks. ik most of the advice you would have wont be the same for other countries but if you have any general tips on how to get my hands on something like a lada or an old volvo id love to hear
Sure! When buying an old car, it's important to inspect the underside of the car for rust. It's also good to look for common rusting spots for each model. Pretty much same stuff to look out for when buying new and old cars. Now for lada: I think all rear wheel drive ladas have good engines, but if it has a timing chain, listen for rattle coming from the valve cover area. Oil leaks are also common. Also listen if the valve lifters make any excessive noise ( they may need adjusting ). Especially if the lada has a 5 speed gearbox, try all gears so they work smoothly and it doesn't slide off gear. Also listen to any noises coming from the rear differential. If it's a 1700i, make sure the check engine light switches off when you start the car. And make sure that the car accelarates smoothly. The free play in the steering wheel can be adjusted from the steering box. Check the front floors and exhaust pipe for rust. Some doors and locks or window levers may be stiff or difficult to operate. The wipers may work a bit strange in the first setting. Check that all of the lights and electric stuff work normally. I hope this helps!
yes, it's true, the great German quality, but it's also true that that Audi (I had an identical one) is part of a time where there were little or no electronics, therefore very few sensors, no control units, no lambda probes, no injection with very high pressures and delicate pumps, not to mention F.A.P and chokes against pollution, all this has led to diesel engines with many problems
I drive an audi, '96 A4 B5 and those doorlocks are the entry to game of throne's true freezing ice winter. I put so much oil in it but every time when I need that car, I need to use a lighter to heat the key and it still takes an hour to unlock.
I bet at least one of the glow plugs isn't working. My audi 80 1.9 tdi didn't start in the winter one morning, and then i found out that only one plug was still working :D So who knows how long i been starting it on only 2 plugs :D I replaced them with new BERU glow plugs 6 years ago. They are still working like new. Engine now has 600.000km and when i tried to start it in december, after being parked on a field for 8 month, it started on one turn of the engine at -6. I thought it won't even turn after 8 months. First generation of 1.9tdi (1z) 90hp from 1991-1994 are probably the most reliable diesel engines ever made. They don't require any overhaul in their lifetime. Just change oil and filters and that's it. I think Skoda even used them until 2003.
I think direct injection diesels start better in the cold, like the tdi. This is a pre chamber diesel. I also have a tractor which is a pre chamber diesel, and it doesn't have glow plugs. Even with the engine heater, it doesn't start very easily in the cold.
It's a bit off topic, but does anyone in this harsh Environment use elecric cars? Btw the old 5 Zylinder Audis are famous for insane reliablility and great sound. Greetings from Germany
Amazing! I actually managed to cold start a car too, a Ford Kuga at -8 ⁰C when we recently had cold, like really cold winter temperatures here in Norway. But that wasn't the coldest temperature, they had -29 ⁰C in Oslo and below -30 ⁰C up in the north. I actually do live in the southwestern part of Norway.
I’ll be impressed with the engine. I’m generally not a fan of Volkswagen Diesels from the 80’s, as Mercedes-Benz was better than the competition in pretty much every aspect, in terms of passenger car Diesels, but this thing seems to run well for its age.
I have been wondering why w124 200d for example is considered better than this? At least more "legendary". This audi is a bit faster, lighter, and i think it's more spacious. And these CN rngines seem to last as long as old mercedes diesels. These also didn't rust badly at all, but it's strange how these have dissapeared. I guess mercedes holds it's value the best, because it's a mercedes.
@@fiatmies3852Classic Mercedes (any generational chassis codes up to the W124/W126) are special because they’re the only vehicles which offer most (if not all) of the features of a modern car, without any of the gimmicky excess, but, in an analogue package that is infinitely maintainable/repairable/serviceable. There wasn’t a single component in the OM617 powertrain that wasn’t document, Mercedes was aware of every possible problem that could occur, and they had those problems covered. Once you fix up a W123/W124 300D, you have a car with effectively no expiration date. They were true forever cars.
